YVR Autism And ADHD Networking
Hi, I’m Mosh.
I was amazed by the fact that we don’t have networking events for neurodivergents here; especially for Autistic and ADHD individuals.
As an adult on the spectrum, I have hated networking events my whole life. I found them exhausting, awkward, and draining. Yet, I know they are crucial for our social needs and our careers.
I believe we play an outsized role in shaping the world as it is, and yet we are so isolated. We are the ones pushing humanity forward and making the world a more interesting place for everyone.
So, I decided to build the space I always wished existed.
This is a networking event designed on our terms.
Who is this for?
We are calling all Founders, Artists, Technical Minds, and Creatives.
If you just discovered you belong to the ND community: You will leave happy to finally see your "lookalikes"—people who think and process the world just like you.
If you are years into your awakening: Come share your experience. Your presence helps those of us who are newer to this journey navigate it with more confidence.
What we will do:
I will act as a facilitator. I will be there to connect open candidates and prompt conversations, so you don't have to do all the heavy lifting.
A small presentation: I will talk briefly about the way our brains work. You can interrupt me at any time—this is not a lecture.
Resource Circles: We will follow up by sharing resources that help us, things we have learned, or simply asking for support from the group.
How this event works:
No Small Talk: No mandatory openers. No "What do you do?" loops.
Structured Mingling: We have a Topic Menu. You can pick a subject you like and join a specific conversation circle.
Color-Coded Badges: You choose a lanyard to signal your status and flip it whenever you want:
🟩 Open to being approached.
🟦 Just observing for now.
Sensory Control: The environment is controlled. No microphones. No loud music. No eye contact required.
The "Low Pressure" Policy:
Arrival: If you join late, you can slip in quietly from the back. No spotlight.
Departure: If you want to leave, you can just leave. The "Irish Exit" is encouraged. No need to say goodbye to everyone.
This is a non-judgmental space gathered by and for people with first-hand ND experience.
